Media I went to UFC Paris and had a blast!

[Shoguns Prodigy**]

I had to buy tickets for the weigh-ins but they were free.
So I assume they did that to control visitors capacity..

Hopefully it’s like that but doubt it it’s a big msg event, definitely want to attend the weigh ins too but then I gotta take extra day off and I don’t want to get there and have to buy ticket.

Quality thread sherbro! A good read thank you, glad you had a good one.

You guys don't speak English!

I can't understand what you're saying. I'm just typing random words, I'm just very lucky


(I'd have to be masochistic to just pretend being French, especially on a US based forum ; I've been told that we don't have a fantastic abroad reputation )

 

[Kenny Powerth]

Thanks man, glad you enjoyed reading it!

Well, I’ll answer your question through showing this fun conversation I had with someone in the “I just met Alistair Overeem” thread a few months ago:







1,93 m is like 6’4”
And at the moment I weigh about 105 kg, which is like 232 lbs.

Damn son! Thanks for sharing.

Succesful debut in France. I’m sure the UFC will return there.

Oh also, for what it's worth, Dana said that he wants to do a fight night in another French town next, then come back in Paris for a PPV.

Obviously that's just words, but I think he was pleased with that event.

Honestly, we are so fortunate to have a guy like Gane, leading the first main event in here. His recent successes, the title shot, his behavior... I feel that attracted a lot of new fans, coincidentally just after MMA became legal.
BSD has some good hype over here too. He's young, and I have high hopes for him.

A PPV event would mean a very late start for locals though, like the Bisping/Henderson PPV in Manchester.

No chance an European PPV-card will be at local time?

Nope no garbage in the streets
And no, I didn't prepare a question in advance cause I didn't know it was also a Q&A for the fans, bur when I entered the queue I wanted to ask GSP about the Izzy vs Pereira fight, his thoughts on that one.
A few questions/answers made it to big MMA media like MMA Junkie. I think my question could’ve qualified for that too.
One guy asked GSP what his favorite dinosaur was<45> Like dude, you have the opportunity to ask GSP something and you’re asking to his favorite dinosaur lol

Lol, what was his answer though? What was his favorite dino?

That's a shame you didn't get to ask a question though. GSP is a very interesting dude and a smart guy when it comes to MMA. I always like segments where they ask him to pick a fighter and to elaborate to why he picked that fighter. The back and forths he as with Firas when making picks is also always fun.

So yeah, a solid question you had, bud.

They asked if they did Leon vs Usman 2 in the UK if it would be on a terrible time for the UK too. But Dana said they wouldn't I think. Might have to rewatch that bit just to be sure. But you gotta think that'll be a PPV too.

 

[Belgtard]

European crowds are better than American ones. I’m not so surprised at the success the UFC had in Paris. We’ve seen how crowds are in London already.

UFC would benefit from holding more events here.

Uber TS 2.0 looking huge!

I agree.

Yeah GSP gives very detailed answers all the time, also on the dinosaur question<45>
I cant’t remember which one was his favorite, but I know he added something like: “Guys, realize we’re closer to dinosaur x than dinosaur x is to dinosaur y, that’s insane right?”
Class act GSP<45> A joy to listen to him.
I'm sure he would have given a comprehensive answer on my question aswell

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Solid matchup that is

 

[BoxerMaurits]

I agree.

Ever seen this? <45> <45> <45>

 

[BoxerMaurits]

Ever seen this? <45> <45> <45>

Lol no<45>
I actually liked watching dinosaur movies back in the days as a toddler and child, but a more mature version of this I think.
Nice song though
